Southern Buttermilk Biscuits

Hot, fluffy Southern Buttermilk Biscuits recipe that melt in your mouth, are easy to make, and will disappear in no time at all!

Last month, my husband and I went to Savannah, Georgia for the first time. We had dinner at the Pirate’s House and were served the most luscious, melt-in-your-mouth, Southern Buttermilk Biscuits! They came with an orange honey marmalade and were absolutely to die for. I couldn’t wait to get home and try making them on my own.I found a recipe that looked like an authentic southern buttermilk biscuits recipe, fine-tuned it a little, and got baking! The dough for these biscuits was easy to handle and cut (I used my 2 5/8 inch Progressive biscuit cutter) and were perfectly golden after 10 minutes of baking. They tasted perfect: tender and moist! The orange honey marmalade spread on them puts these biscuits over the top. It’s such a nice alternative to just using butter on top!

I’m so glad you’re here! Follow along on Pinterest for more inspiration!

Progressive International, which is a large American company specializing in kitchen gadgets, sent me this awesome set of 7 biscuit cutters that I am giving away today! If you visit their website you can read all about this great company and find out where to buy their products! You will find that their food preparation tools come in many fun colors with an aim to make the preparation stages of cooking and baking as easy and enjoyable as possible. Some of Progressive’s most popular products include kitchen storage solutions, onion choppers, bowls and mandoline multi slicers. You can buy anything you are looking for….from baking gadgets and cooking products to pantry solutions, spices, tools and accessories. I’ve had my eye on their collapsible cake/cupcake carrier for a while now!

I love these biscuit cutters! They are colorful, lightweight, easy to clean, and sturdy (and will never lose their shape since they are plastic). Two of my favorite things about them are: 1. They all stack inside each other to save storage space in your cupboard and 2. They are two-sided: one side is plain and the other has scalloped edges so you can choose which you want to use. I also love the fact that each cutter has it’s size printed on it for those recipes that specify the size needed. Other than these Southern Buttermilk Biscuits , these would be perfect for cookies, tarts, scones, and pierogi and are ideal for the baking I will be doing in the future.

Combine the dry ingredients in a bowl, or in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter into chunks and cut into the flour until it resembles course meal. If using a food processor (ingredients will stay colder and less chance of over-mixing this way), just pulse a few times until this consistency is achieved. Add the buttermilk and mix JUST until combined. If it appears on the dry side, add a bit more buttermilk. Dough should be very wet.

Turn the dough out onto a very well-floured board or counter. Gently PAT (do NOT roll with a rolling pin) the dough out until it's about ½" thick. Fold the dough about 5 times, gently press the dough down to a 1 inch thick. Use a round biscuit cutter (mine was 2⅝ inch) to cut into rounds. You can gently knead the scraps together and make a few more. The dough must be handled as little as possible or you will have tough biscuits.

Place the biscuits on a cookie sheet- to keep them soft, have them touching each other on the sheet. If you like more crisp sides, put them about 1 inch apart (like I did), but these will not rise as high as the biscuits put close together. Bake for about 10-12 minutes- the biscuits will be a beautiful light golden brown on top and bottom. Do not over-bake!

Everybody seems to be sharing biscuit recipes and I feel left out! They all look delicious and biscuits are definitely one of my favorites (Especially with sausage and gravy). Thanks for the inspiration, I definitely need to get on the homemade biscuit wagon!

My favorite kitchen gadget is my food chopper from Pampered Chef. It chops up everything easily without squishing things. I can make fresh chopped salsa easily without mushing up the tomatoes, and without cutting off one of my appendages.

I have liked you on FB, Pinterest, and pretty much, I just like you :-)…no I LOVE YOU!!!

I love homemade biscuits! And buttermilk ones may be the best. We have some biscuit cutters than I use for almost everything except biscuits – I usually cut my biscuit dough with a knife, into squares, so there’s no waste! Although the round ones do look pretty.

These biscuit cutters are so cute. I love the rainbows of colors. 🙂 I think the most useful kitchen tool is the stand mixer. I use it almost everyday. Thanks for hosting the giveaway. I’m heading to Progressive International to see what other fun gadgets they have. Thanks for introducing me to this company.

Your flaky biscuits dripping with orange marmalade looks delightful. My friend passed on to me her recipe and showed me how to keep folding the dough on top of itself to get all of those delicious southern flavours of the biscuit. That concept would be perfect with your cute little colourful cutters. Take Care, BAM
